Mahabharata's Pashupatastra: Arjuna's 'Precision Attack' Far Surpassed Modern Missiles

• Ancient Divyastras like Pashupatastra were smart weapons, more precise and lethal than today's guided missiles.
• Arjuna used the infallible Pashupatastra for a 'precision attack' to slay Jayadratha, avenging Abhimanyu's death.
• The divine weapon featured unerring target locking, non-interceptability, and speed many times faster than sound.
• Pashupatastra followed complex instructions, severing Jayadratha's head and placing it in his father's lap.
• Arjuna received Pashupatastra from Lord Shiva; Jayadratha had a boon to defeat all Pandavas except Arjuna.
